A Very Special Macmillan Coffee Morning at Latimer Court

A truly lovely morning we shared at Latimer Court, bringing together our wonderful residents, local community, nurses, friends and even some adorable four-legged visitors.

There was plenty of tea, coffee, delicious cakes, laughter and conversation, but most importantly, everyone came together to support the incredible work of Macmillan Cancer Support.

We were especially honoured to be joined by Sonia Tudor, who has devoted an amazing 24 years to fundraising for Macmillan Cancer Support. Her dedication is truly inspiring and it was wonderful to have her share this special morning with us.

Supporting our local community

We’re pleased to share that Marriott House & Lodge is now a collection point for Chichester Food Bank.
If you’re able to donate, you can drop off much-needed non-perishable food and essential items at Marriott House & Lodge. Every donation, no matter how small, can make a real difference to local individuals and families who are facing difficult times.
Your kindness can help put food on the table and bring a little support when it’s needed most.

Thank you to everyone who donates and helps us support our local community. Together, we can make a difference.

Cook’s Corner!

We all love Cook’s Corner, and this time they’ve been busy baking these absolutely gorgeous cherry-topped cupcakes! Just look at those icing swirls… professional standard!
There was just one little problem… there wasn’t quite enough to go around! We might have to get the chopping board out and cut them up so everyone gets a share!
They were definitely a hit, so we think these delicious cupcakes will be making another appearance very soon.
Well done, Cook’s Corner! We can’t wait to see what you bake next!

Taking Flight at the Air Museum

Our residents enjoyed a fantastic day out to the Air Museum, exploring an incredible collection of historic aircraft and reminiscing about aviation through the years.

The museum has proved so popular with our residents we have been twice this month! Both days were wonderful & filled with memories, laughter & conversation.

Our activities coordinator said: "It was great to see how much our residents enjoyed the daym sharing memories & stories while exploring the aircraft together"

Diving into local history!

We had a wonderful time one afternoon as we welcomed the team from the Woking Lightbox for a fascinating history talk. Our residents loved exploring old photographs, sharing stories, and learning more about the rich heritage of our local area. A huge thank you to The Lightbox for bringing such an engaging and nostalgic experience right into our home!

Crandon Springs Care Home

Down the pub without leaving home

We enjoyed a proper pub afternoon as our care team transformed one of our lounges into a local ‘watering hole.’

There was a bar serving beer, wine, cider and soft drinks, traditional pub snacks including crisps, scampi fries and bacon bits, pub songs on the virtual jukebox, and plenty of chat and laughter. A few rounds of magnetic darts added to the atmosphere, while our Manager, Darius, even got behind the bar to help serve the drinks!

A great afternoon, and one of those everyday fun social experiences that are such an important part of life. The Crandon Arms Pub will definitely be re-opening its doors again soon.

Always time for a spot of shopping

Nothing like a bit of retail therapy and a spot of shopping that always starts with 'just a quick look' and ends with one too many bags.

Enjoyed by many and laughter throughout the day
